  "textContent": "Listen to the full series.\nEpisode 4 of “The Last 12 Weeks,” a podcast from The Marshall Project, Serial Productions and The New York Times, features two very different takes on David Wood.\nThe goal is to answer a set of questions about the man whom the State of Texas plans to execute: Who is he, and what exactly is he capable of?\nThe last time anyone took up those questions seriously was more than three decades ago at his capital murder trial, where prosecutors argued that Wood had gone from being a convicted rapist to being a serial killer who might kill again. And yet, Wood and his lawyers insist that isn’t true.\nWe head to death row to hear him tell us why. But not before we talk to somebody with a very different feeling about the kind of person Wood is: one of the rape victims who testified against him.\n",
